Kill it or fund it
We don't
start companies.
Not yet. An idea has to survive five stages before it earns a company, a CEO and its own capitalization.
- 01 —
Idea
Something might be interesting.
Ideas are worth almost nothing until tested.
- 02 —
Experiment
Build the smallest version capable of answering the biggest question.
Days or weeks. Not years.
- 03 —
Traction
Real people use it, buy it, return to it or tell other people about it.
Now it earns more time and capital.
- 04 —
Venture
Repeatability begins to emerge.
Assign dedicated leadership, resources and additional capital.
- 05 —
Company
Independent company. Dedicated CEO. Dedicated team. Independent capitalization.
Bad Ideas remains an owner and strategic partner.
